Man, it's been a long time for this blog. I kept it going for over a year but then started focusing on my other blog, The Napkin Dad Daily, and let this one slide. I am rejuvenating it now to be an avenue for you to see my latest commercial photography projects. There will be other elements as well, discussion, presentations, announcement of photo road trips, etc. But to start back up I will simply post some of recent photos and go from there.

My wife, Linda, took this while waiting in the 'green room' for me to finish the interview on 'Good Day Tulsa'. It is a morning show that follows Good Morning America here in town. I was being interviewed about my napkin being in Time Magazine and the napkin story behind it all.

The best part was that the interviewer, Kristin Dickerson, agreed to let me do a photo collage of her for my 'Velveteen Woman' project!

The video is not yet available online but when it is I will post it, or a link to it.
